Abstract: A control and battery box for a decorative light apparatus having a housing, a top cover and a battery compartment. Hinges with expanding pins are provided on one edge of the control and battery box and latches on the other. Each expanding pin includes a pair of prongs with a gap therebetween. The pair of prongs are compressed to enter to an aperture in a part of another hinge then be retained therein between shoulders.

Abstract: Enhancements to ornamental or holiday lighting are disclosed including remote control ornamental illumination with color pallet control whereby a user can vary the color/intensity/appearance of an individual bulb or entire light string by selecting the electronic address of the bulb and selecting its attribute. Further disclosures include: motion responsive lights which respond to sensed movement, gesture controlled lights, adjustable white color/white led sets, connectable multi-function lights, controller to sequence lights to music or other input source, rotating projection led light/tree top/table top unit, and remote controlled sequencing icicle lights and ornament lighting system.

Abstract: Composition, method and kit of parts for a simplified and safe extraction of nucleic acids from biological samples, such as crude and processed food, and subsequent analysis by polymerase chain reaction to the presence of animal material, genetically modified organisms, allergens and pathogens. The method comprises the addition of extracting composition together with hot water for extraction and stabilization of nucleic acids as well as removal of substances interfering with DNA polymerase activity.

Abstract: A system and method of creating a steady ON and a special effects light effect from a bulb without providing any special wiring thereto. In one embodiment, the bulb contains an illumination element and a controller which produces the special effect in the element. By interrupting the flow of current to the controller periodically, the controller is initialized to its initial steady ON condition. A plurality of steady ON pulses at a high frequency will appear as a steady ON light, instead of pules, thereby producing a steady ON appearance without special wiring. When the current is allowed to flow continuously, the controller produces the special effect. A second embodiment uses parallel polarized light element which produce different effect when power is applied in opposite polarities, thereby providing two effects with no special wiring.
